PROTOCOLS > SCPI

📄 IDN

Query a device's identity through the universal *IDN? SCPI command.

📄 MEASURE VOLTAGE

Query an instrument's measured output voltage, such as a DMM or power supply.

📄 SCPI WRITE

Write a SCPI command to a connected bench-top instrument and return the result.

QCodes

import qcodes as qc
from qcodes.instrument_drivers.physical_instruments import BaselSP983c

# Create an instance of the BaselSP983c instrument
instrument = BaselSP983c("instrument_name", input_offset_voltage=0)

# Connect to the instrument
instrument.connect()

# Get the IDN information of the instrument
idn = instrument.get_idn()
print(idn)

# Disconnect from the instrument
instrument.disconnect()

Explanation:

1. Import the necessary modules: qcodes and BaselSP983c from qcodes.instrument_drivers.physical_instruments.
2. Create an instance of the BaselSP983c instrument with a desired name and optional input_offset_voltage parameter.
3. Connect to the instrument using the connect() method.
4. Use the get_idn() method to retrieve the IDN information of the instrument.
5. Print the IDN information.
6. Disconnect from the instrument using the disconnect() method.
